Buffalo Bills to wear decals honoring slain firefighters

The Buffalo Bills will wear decals on their helmets to honor the firefighters of Webster, N.Y., who were ambushed by a lone gunman on Christmas Eve while responding to an early morning house fire. The team

Mike Chiapperini, 43, and Tomasz Kaczowka, 19, both volunteers, died at the hands of 62-year-old ex-convict William Spengler, who later took his own life after a gun fight with police. Two other firefighters also were injured in the vicious attack.

To honor these men, the Bills will wear decals that read "WWFD" (West Webster Fire Department) on the back of their helmets. The decals will join the "S.H.E.S." decal already being worn to honor the victims of the tragic shooting earlier this month at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

Classy move here by the Bills, especially with Webster just 90 miles east of Buffalo. It's simply unfortunate the team has to honor the victims of another deadly shooting.
